Yes, good! Also it should be "its" rather than "it's", but I didn't want to reply to my own message since it was meant as a draft to work with. I'd like to turn this into a refinement of a concrete proposal. I skimmed the original thread and it pretty much diverged into experience reports or meta-level discussions on what or how to advertise Haskell. This has its place, but I think we can get to a description that is good enough for now and addresses Don's issues mentioned in the thread-starting message. So, I would welcome more concrete adjustments to my proposal. / Thomas
